Wayne Hoffman makes it rain with his mind

Hey Wayniacs,


I was sifting through some of my videos and I came across a short clip that I made while I was on tour. It'll give you a good sneak-peek at some of the crazy things I do while I'm on the road. In this video I make it rain with my mind...check it out:

Wayne Hoffman and Bill Maher at the Playboy Mansion

Hey gang,

I was looking through some old photos and found a picture of me and Bill Maher partying at the Playboy Mansion. It brought back a lot of wild memories as you can imagine. Don't be fooled. Bill Maher is a party animal. Check it out.

Wayne Hoffman reads Jay Leno's mind

Hey gang,

Here's some wild news from Wayne's World. I was cruising down the street and bumped into Jay Leno filming for the Tonight Show. I ended up reading his mind and doing some magic for him. Experiences like this are the reason why I moved to Hollywood. You never know what kind of crazy stuff will happen.

Wayne Hoffman's Guide To Catching A Liar

Can you spot the Liar?


Hey guys!

A lot of you ask me how you can spot a liar. Most of the inquisitors are women (go figure) So here you go. Below I've posted some tips on how to spot a dishonest bastard. These aren't 100% definitive, so don't divorce your lying cheat of a spouse over my post. But I wouldn't post something that wasn't true. By the way, I'm an alien.

You can't really use these on people you don't know. The reason being, you have to compare their normal body language to the body language when you think they're lying. You need to have a "control". (the science geeks get it)


You can use these for business or love...but don't say I didn't warn you.
Good luck grasshopper.



Words vs. Actions
• If you sense the timing of a persons reaction is off, you're probably right. This usually indicates they're fibbing...or using narcotics. Things like "I love this tie with a picture of a fish on it" (3 second pause) ::smile::
I hope you saved the receipt.

• Shaking your head no while saying "yes" is a non-verbal cue someone is lying, and vice versa.

• If their smile doesn't reach their eyes it might be a fake smile. You should see the "crows feet" at the corner of their eyes. Smiling with just the mouth in ingenuine.



The Body Motions
• A liar will have less movement. Almost as if they're fearful. They'll close up.

• They'll avoid making eye contact.

• A liar will often touch their face i.e eyes, ears, or mouth. It stems from the "See no evil, Hear no evil" idea. As kids we cover our ears if we hear something we don't like, we cover our eyes for something we don't like to see, or cover our mouths if we say something "naughty". So these touches are subtle toned-down versions of our childhood behavior. (I'm feeling intelligent as I post this) On the flip side, if a person gestures with an open hand, they're showing vulnerability and are probably being honest.



Watch How They Say What They Say•
• If they reapeat your question before answering they're a gutter-rat.

• A statement with a contraction or a shortened version of a statement is probably true: “ I didn't have sex with that woman” as opposed to “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”




• Liars sometimes avoid saying things that imply an answer instead of just answering the question.

• Watch out for the person who answers a simple question with an hour-long narrative. If they talk to much they're just probably trying to avoid the guilt they'll feel during that moment of uncomfortable silence



Reactions
• It's a bad sign if they get defensive. if they go after you they might be telling the truth. However, some people get offensive if they're lying...especially roided-out football players.

• If your subject can't look you in the eye tell them that they should go to hell.

• A liar sometimes distances themselves from their interrogator. So they might walk to the other side of the table or open a refrigerator door.

• Stalling is another sign. If you ask them a question and they take a bite out of Twix....there using it for time to think up a lie.


The Whole Body
Look out for jerky motions. If they're acting like Michael J. Fox and shifting around....they're probably uncomfortable. I wonder why. Hmmmmm.


Watch their hands. Liars tend to put their hands in their pockets subconciously. It's their way of hiding.



Become A Sneaky Prick

• Get sneaky and change subject quickly, a liar will be happy and relieved while a truthful person will be pissed off and will want to revert back to defend themselves.

There are other interesting methods including watching their eyes to figure out if they're recalling a thought or constructing one...but I'm tired of typing. So I might just release that in a future post. So subscribe to my blog and check back for more fun.

Hope this helps you in life, relationships, and business.
I'll see you on the flipside.


Love,
Wayne

Wayne Hoffman is heading to Japan!

Hey guys!


I have some exciting news from the headquarters of Hoffman Entertainment...

I am officially going to Japan for the first time this Wednesday!


I'm very excited about my journey. I'll be landing in Sapporo, Japan and slowly taking over the country from there. I'm a little nervous because of the large cultural differences and the language barrier.....but I have faith. I don't think I'll have to worry about them understanding me. I probably won't have to say a wrod when I start levitating things and stuff starts disappearing. :)






After my journey to Japan I'll be heading to Anchorage, Alaska and then Cancun, Mexico. I think it's time to start breaking some of the international barriers!



I'll see you on the flipside!

WH gate crashers

My manager just sent me this news ad that apparently shows two "Wayne Hoffman Gate Crashers". I wasn't home at the time so I didn't get a chance to confront the intruders. It's a shame too, because that chick is pretty hot. lol Too bad the press thought "WH" stood for White House.

$2,000,000 offered

Hello Readers!

I just wanted to take this oppurtunity to address the skeptics who believe the tattoo I got on NBC's "Phenomenon" isn't real. If you watched the show live or saw the YouTube video of my performance on the show, you know what I'm talking about. If not, below is the video of my performance.





I am offering $2,000,000 to anyone who can prove that I did not get the yin-yang tattoo prior to the live performance of that routine on "Phenomenon". And furthermore, the offer stands to anyone who can prove that the tattoo is not real. I assure you it is very real.

Michael Jackson's sequined glove may soon be mine

Hey guys,

I just wanted to let you know that I have officially registered to be one of the bidders at Julien's "Music Icons" auction at the Hard Rock in New York City on November 21st, 2009. I will be bidding on Michael Jackson's sequined that he wore when he debuted the moonwalk. I'm currently organizing venture capitalists to back me in case the glove goes into "astronomical" figures. If you or someone you know wants to invest in the venture, you/they can email me at wayne@hoffmanmagic.com. I'm prepared to drop unimaginable sums of money to obtain it. If I end up the owner of the glove I have some eccentric plans for it. Don't expect it to sit on a shelf collecting dust. I want to make sure MJ's legacy is never forgotten.




Another glove just sold in Australia for $48,000. We'll see how much this one goes for. Wish me luck.

Wikipedia Page and Animal Planet!

Hey guys!


I just saw a re-airing of my appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show and now I just found out I'll be on TV again tonight (this morning)! You can check me out as I co-host "The A List" on Discovery's Animal Planet. I'm helping do a countdown of the top 10 cheats of the animal kingdom. Watch and laugh with me as we check out the "trickiest" animals alive! The show is definately for those of us who are insomniacs as it airs at 4:00am/4:30am. If you're still amped up from that cup of coffee......make sure you check it out!


On another note....I finally made the investment in time to create a wikipedia page for myself. Make sure you go to www.wikipedia.org and search my name to check it out. You might even learn something new about me!
